Should we add 'Trade' & 'Donate' to the Points System?

I know this is kinda early to start off, but who ever said that early was bad?

How about we add on to the Points System a little. What I am suggesting we should do is have a Donation & Trade database for it. Users can go to another user's profile and either click on Trade or Donate.

Trade

If a user clicks on 'Trade' in the selected user's profile, that user would submit an amount of Points or Reputation Points to trade with the other user and submit the entry, then when the other user logs in, there will be a pop-up or PM stating a user wants to Trade a certain amount of Reputation Points for a certain amount of Points, and that user can either deny the Trade or accept it.This is a very fun and neat idea because you would be able to trade with other users.

Donate

If a user clicks on 'Donate' in the selected user's profile, that user would submit the amount of Repuation Points or Points to donate to that selected user. The other user wouldn't have to deny or accept the proposal; it would just be automatically accepted. This is a great idea for manually-made Points Shops.This is a very fun and neat idea as well because it would be cool to donate with users.

Who ever said that all forums are for helping people? I mean, the Reputation doesn't really mean anything- it's just there. Also, there can always be a fraud out there that is getting users to give him +Rep on purpose.Another thing, we can at least put the Reputation Points to use by trading and donating. There's not a real use for it right now, and there is nothing to even use it for.

no, because you EARN points, not automatically recieve. it that was the case, then i would vote yes. plus there is no true value to points right now except for showing off, and how can you show off points that someone gave you without anything in return? it is like stealing, then pretending it is yours.
